Enterprise Architect – IT Architecture & Integration

We are looking for an Enterprise Architect to help a growing technology company build a clear and manageable IT landscape. This is a hands-on consultancy assignment focused on setting practical standards, improving integrations, and creating a roadmap that supports business needs.

What you will do

• Define the target IT architecture and a roadmap based on business value, risk, and running costs.

• Map existing systems, ownership, data flows, and integrations, and identify opportunities to simplify the landscape.

• Establish practical architecture standards and lead the Architecture Review Board.

• Design major integrations and define suitable patterns and platform choices.

• Set principles for data modelling, master data, classification, ownership, and governance.

• Assess new systems with business stakeholders and Procurement, and define requirements for onboarding and go-live.

• Build security, identity, privacy, and compliance into architecture decisions, including the use of AI tools.

• Keep architecture documentation clear, current, and useful.

You will report to the Head of Enterprise IT and work at an operational and tactical level.

What you should have done before

• Worked for 5–7 years as an enterprise, integration, or solution architect, with a background in systems integration or IT architecture.

• Established architecture standards and governance from a limited starting point, including leading an architecture review forum.

• Worked in a growing technology company where the IT landscape needed to catch up with the business.

• Worked hands-on with an outsourced infrastructure provider.

• Mapped and simplified system landscapes and maintained useful architecture documentation.

• Designed API and event/message-based integrations, with hands-on experience using at least one iPaaS platform.

• Worked with data architecture and governance, including modelling, master data, classification, ownership, and data flows.

• Evaluated SaaS platforms such as ERP, CRM, PLM, HR, and collaboration tools, including decisions on buying, building, or integrating solutions.

• Prioritised architecture roadmaps and explained the business trade-offs to management.

You should also have working knowledge of Azure, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and security and privacy by design, including TISAX, ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIS2. Familiarity with TOGAF, ArchiMate, or similar frameworks and ITIL is required; practical experience matters more than certification.

Fluent English is required.

Nice to have

• Experience in regulated industries, particularly automotive or other TISAX-relevant sectors.

• Swedish language skills.
